AN ARCTIC MYSTERY.

Wild Men of the North Believed to Be
Indians Who Have Gone Mad and
Turned Cannibals.

Mr. KE. Walter Maunder, the well-
known astronomer, writes to The Lon-
don Daily Graphic as follows:

1 was much Interested In reading the
ttle paragraph under the heading, "A
Yorn from the North.” because it was
‘surly ansecho of what had happened

The little settlement is stationed at
the mouth of the Northwest River
shore that stream empties Itself into
Tike Melvi%s, as the principal exten-
ston of Harm/lton Inlet is‘eailed. The
ettionent consists of the cottage be-

x to Mr, Cottar, the Hudson Bay
store, and three or four huts
by his trappers on the north
bank of the river, while immediatciy
opposite. on the south bank, is the sta-
tion belonging to the French fur com-
pany of Messrs, Revillion et Cle. The

rentiomen rendered the eclipse expedi-
tion very great service, Capt. Fournier

giving the use of the schooner to act
ns a le@ter, and bringing all our goods
and instruments from our steamer, the
King Edward, to the wharf and back
ogain.

Tt is this Capt. Fournter who ts incer-
rectiy described as a “steward” in the
Laffan's telegram from Montreal. For

when we reached the station we found
the little community in a state of
freat excitement over some mysteri-
eus fo-tmarks that had been seen tn
the neighborhood, resembling the track
let by a bare-footed man, with the
éxeoption that there was the mark of

a great claw on each foot. Three in-
ividuals seemed to have been passing,
for the tracks were of three differen:
those of the largest being very
ly sunk in the ground, as if made
y an ehnormousiy heavy creature; in-
deed, Capt. Fournier told me that he
ated the weight of the creature
sing them as fully seven hundred
nds. The alarm was much intens!-
1 when a half breed trapper, Michael
by name, Who had a hut some twenty
miles from the settlement up one “ef
he rivers, brought his family into the
settlement with the story that his
daughter (who was, I believe, a grown-
np young woman, not a child) had seen
an enormous black-looking man, who
beckoned her to come away with him.
She ‘took refuge in the hut and shut
herself in, and when her father return-
ed home told him what had happened,
and hemt once gathered all his family
together and hurried off to the fur sta-
tion. Capt. Fournier at once gathere’
together as large a force as he could,
and they set out to track the myster-
{ous beings. They came upon their
spoor, and upon very abundant traces
of their feeding. At the time when we
were in the Northwest River, Labrador
Was over-run by a plague of field
voles, and it was clear that the crea-
tures in question made these their
chief diet, which they ate ®&y biting the
middle out of the living animal and
throwing away the head and skin, as
if it were a prawn or shrimp, They
would have no difficulty in eatching the
voles by the hundred, for, as we found
in our camp, the little beasts seemed
absolutely without fear of human kind.

Capt. Fournler tracked the myster-
fous ereatures to a place that they had

evidentiy made their lair, and hid him-
self in a tree close by for the whole of
a night. He never succesded in seeing
them in the open but he heard their
gibbering, and also the noise they made
when feeding on the voles Possibly
they may have detected the presence
of a hunter in the neighborhood, anda

In Nova Scotia last

ar I visited Dr. Hind, the explorer of
\ssinibola and of the Moljsie River in
"abrador, from whom I learn of the
that the Indians tell of these
“Wend!igoes,” whom they describe as
:gantic cannibals and vampires. On
my journey home I met Bishop Holmes
on 8S, 8, Tunisan, who gave me an ac-
count of a case which he had himself
witnessed of possession by just such a
cannibalistic spirit of an Indian near
the Red River. In this case the other
Indians, who were usually wholly
averse to anything like violence or the
taking of life, were most anxious that
the man should be killed, as they said
that ciherwise he would kill and eat
them, There can be no doubt that
many of the weird tales of our fore-
fathers are based upon instances of
such wandering madmen. As Baring-
Gould has pointed out, such in all prob-
ability was the “ghost” Glam, with
whom Grettlr the Strang had so ter-
rible a fight.

The telegram referred to by Mr.
Maunder was as follows: “According
to a Laffan's telegram from Montreal,
&@ man named Fournier, a steward on
board the steamer Stord, owned by
Messrs. Revillion Bros. French fur
dealers, trading tn Polar waters north-
wards of Hudson Bay. reports the ex-
istence, far north, of a race of semi-
human giants. Fournier met one of
the monsters and gave chase, for the
creature fled at a rapid rate. Four-
nier fired at it, but missed. Three sim-
ilar creatures atlempted to kidnap a
little girl. The monsters have enormous
heads and arms, and their lower bod-
jes resemble bears, The Eskimos have
often mentioned the existence of these
creatures, but their
credited.”

THE SPONGE FISHER.

Re Mast Mave Strength, a Qaiek Bro

Lying on his chest along the boat's
deck, the sponge fisher, with his water
glass—a pane set in a box fitted with
handles—4ooks down forty feet into the
clear depths, With one hand he grasps
and sinks a slender pole, sometimes
fifty feet in length, fitted at the end
with a double book. The sponge once
discovered, the hook ts deftly inserted
at the rocky base, and by a sudden
jerk the sponge is detached.

This curt description of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the real skill and exertion

trained by long experience to peer into
the sea and tell the commercially val-
uable sponges from those that are
worthless. He must have a deft band
to detach the sponge without a tear.

Above all, while doing this with one
hand, he must manipulate with the
other the water glass, as the waves
sway it sideways and uo and down

A MAGIC MIRROR.

Experiments With the Moon and
Stare and a Hand Glass.

A pretty experiment can be made
with a hand mirror any night wheu
there is a full mocu. Hold the mirror
s0 that the moon's image wil) be seen
in it and you will be surprised to sce
four moons instead of one. One moon |

will be in a straight line and quite dull,
one dull image on tise side of the bright
moon and the other two on the otter !
side. Turn the mirror round slowly, |
still holding its face to the moon, aad |
the reflections will seem to revolve
rournd a common center.

You can make the same experiment |
with one of the very bright stars, |
such as Sirius, Venus or Jupiter, but |
with these there will be three images |
instead of four, as the number geen de- |
pends on the breadth of the object.
The explanation is quite simple. There
are two surfaces in a mirror, one in
front and the other where the quick- |
silver is. The brightest reflection |
comes from the object itself, the others |
are what are known as secondary im- |
ages reflected from the front to the
back of the mirror and thence to the;
eye. The magic mirror never fails to |
excite a good deal of wonder, aud is an
interesting experiment as well.—Lon- |

The other stone is by the side of a

Childhood's Chosen Colors, |

Professor James Sully in his studies |
of childhood compares the mental
processes of white children tn civilized
lands with those of full grown sav-
ages and discovers some remarkable
resemblances. Among other things he
has ascertained that the favorite col-
ors of the savage, red and yellow, are
those which white children first take
notice of and of which they remain
especialiy fond during the period of
childhood. So, too, the savage adult
and the white child find a common
pleasure in all bright, shining and glit-
tering things.

Johnny get vour gun,

There is game in the bushes;
Duck on the sloughe,

And geese in the rushes, r

Don’t get the blues when you miss the wily duck,
Try a better gun and you'll have better luck ;

If you'll try again with oar Winchester pumps,
You will very, very soon wet over the dumps.

We have a stock of the celebrated Schutz and Amberil shells,
Rifle and Shot Guna of all kinds.

Shooting Coats with pockets to hold anything froma
eprigtail to a cocktail,
We have everything that is good to eat,

Boots, Shoes and Rubbers.
